My workplace is planning to move to Team Foundation Server, and it's not too soon - all to get away from cancer, which is Visual SourceSafe.
However, I have to ask: is the initial control in TFS much different (and better) than VSS, or is it just a “reinforced” version of the same?
I am asking about this now, as this is probably my last window to suggest something like Subversion.

TFS is much more than just source control. Task Management, Registration Policies, List
I have no first experience with TFS, but I used both a secure source and svn. From what I read, your answers are yes and yes. You can definitely feel the story safe for the source, but at the same time it is a modern system with the features you expect and then some (it also works a lot with the project).
